  • Atheist A video clip of C Tangana 'perreando' in the cathedral of Toledo provokes the war between the dean and the archbishop

The

dean of the Cathedral of Toledo

, Juan Miguel Ferrer, has resigned from his position after the controversy that arose as a result of the video clip 'Ateo' by

C. Tangana and Nathy Peluso

recorded in the Toledo temple and the initial discrepancy of opinions with the archbishop of Toledo, Francisco Cerro Chaves.

It has been the

Archbishopric of Toledo

that has informed this Tuesday in a press release of Ferrer's decision, which will be effective from this Saturday, October 16, and that it has taken taking into account that his mandate ended on November 5.

According to the statement, this Tuesday the archbishop of Toledo and the dean of the Cathedral met, "a cordial meeting" in which the dean "has expressed his full communion with Cerro Chaves and with the Diocesan Church."

He has also asked for "institutional forgiveness" in his name and in the name of the various instances of the Cabildo "to the extent that they have had responsibility, for all the errors and faults that may have been committed by word, deed and omission in the events of the last days".

During the meeting, Ferrer conveyed to the archbishop his opinion that it was "convenient to ask" to bring

forward the conclusion of his mandate

at the head of the Cathedral, scheduled for November 5, to Saturday October 16 and "the archbishop has kindly accept the request. "

The Archdiocese has also specified that, by internal regulations of the Cabildo "in force for years", the money collected for extraordinary activities of the Cathedral is

destined to social works.

The resignation of Ferrer -who has been dean of the Cathedral of Toledo since November 2016- comes after the controversy generated as a result of the recording of the video clip 'Ateo' by C. Tangana and Nathy Peluso, in which both artists appear dancing and in sensual attitudes inside the temple, among other rooms in the Chapter House.

After the malaise that began to manifest itself in social networks from the day of its publication, which was on Friday, October 8, Ferrer justified in a press release the video clip recording by stating that the song "

presents the story of a conversion

through the human love "and leaned on the letter of it:" I was an atheist, but now I believe, because a miracle like you had to come down from heaven. "

He also argued that "to certain attitudes of intolerance he opposes the understanding and acceptance of the Church, as manifested in the final sequences of the video" and, although he acknowledged that it is true that the video uses "a provocative visual language", Ferrer pointed out that the final result does not affect faith, because "it is a language of the culture of our time and the good that it can produce in those far away has been attended to."

However, hours later, the Archbishop of Toledo

"deeply" regretted the recording of the video-clip

inside the Primate Cathedral of Spain, apologizing to all the lay faithful, consecrated persons and priests "who have felt justly hurt by this misuse of a sacred place "and said that" he was completely unaware of the existence of this project, its content and the final result. "

In addition, Cerro has convened for next Sunday October 17, coinciding with the beginning of the diocesan phase of the XVI synod, "an invitation to repair sins", to which he has invited all parishes, associations and movements, to the priests, consecrated and laity.

And last Sunday, October 10, about thirty of the faithful gathered in front of the Cathedral to pray the rosary as an act of reparation.
